Vážené učiteľky a učitelia anglického jazyka,

Metodický orgán ANJ II. stupeň ZŠ pri OŠaM MÚ v Žiline pre Vás

pripravilo metodický materiál, v ktorom sú rozpracované témy pre komunikačné

úrovne A1 a A2 podľa Štátneho vzdelávacieho programu Isced 2 ANJ. Témy sú

spracované na základe lexiky a gramatiky učebníc Project 1 – 4 a Project Plus.

Tento materiál môže slúžiť ako pomôcka, resp. doplňujúci materiál, pre

učiteľov anglického jazyka na 2. stupni ZŠ. Dá sa využiť pre konverzačné

cvičenia, na krúžkoch anglického jazyka, ako aj na hodinách súvisiacich s danou

témou. Odporúčame využívať tento materiál aj na hodinách so zvýšenou dotáciou

hodín ANJ.

Každá rozpracovaná téma obsahuje slovnú zásobu, frázy, otázky na

story telling. Niektoré témy majú obsiahlejší rozsah. Z tohto dôvodu sú aj
